That's what I need!!! Thank you!!

I'm on the fence about that 2-2-2 thing but the HIIT workouts and intermittent fasting are on the money.

Looks like somebody needs to read William Li’s book. Metabolism doesn’t change between zero and 20 and 20 and 40 and 40 and 60 and 60 and 80. Every two decades it is the same. I suggest you look up his new book.

I know my macros is mostly carbs and protein. My fat is the smallest number. I've IF since Elementary school. I'm just not hungry first thing in the morning, but when I do wake up hungry then I eat. For me it was depression. That really packed it on because I wasn't active I just sat and ate. And it wasn't junk food it was Keto that I was eating at the time.

He lost me at claiming metabolism doesn’t slow down until your 60s. It’s common knowledge that it begins to slow down in your 30s for the vast majority of people. It’s why we have to do more and eat less to stay fit…

[Librona]

Sounds complicated....just eat less and be more active.

So- called Expert: “Carbs are your friend”
Me: I’m out ✌️

Why does it take 3 presenters? I've noticed this before, it gets crowned and no8sy.

[Rose-Rae]

Heavy carbs are not friends of diabetics.

[sandratreptow]

What about a diabetic? They are suppose to lower carbs....😢

[plantpoweredcertifiednutri]

Just go WFPB! Stop measuring your food and weighing it! Please stop saying “carbs” it’s a starch! Pasta is a processed food, stick with the whole food! AKA- sweet potatoes 🍠, rice quinoa. Also, the fat you eat is the fat you wear!! 💪

[girliedog]

right you gain twenty new pounds eating all of that pasta.

[chrisinuae]

So what’s different between this and the ither diet books he’s read? All about the money Dr, kikd of sad really.

[hammertime]

Is this menu/method good for someone who is obese?

[margielynch]

2/1/2/1 metabolic diet is where it’s at

[roisinhart]

Love all the "nutritionists" in the comments 😂

[brookesmith]

This is just marketing for his It’s not a new

[alisonfraser]

“First two weeks of the brand-Er-plan, ” There’s a Freudian slip for ya!

[Luna_show]

What's the name of his Facebook group? 2:05

I know this guy's a doctor that wrote a lot of books and stuff, but some of this stuff is complete BS. First, metabolism varies from person to person, and it plateaus somewhere between 20-60 before it starts declining. Second, anyone that knows anything about Keto knows you can't alternate Keto with non-Keto days because it takes a few days to get into Ketosis and the non-Keto carb loading days throws you out of Ketosis. So you'll never truly be in Ketosis unless you alternated weeks. Third, they've done studies on HIIT vs. Steady State, and they were both found to be equally effective, but HIIT comes with significantly more fatigue. Fourth, intermittent fasting studies have had mixed results. We need to see more conclusive data to know whether it works or not.
